Tomcat doesn't include a connection pooling facility by itself, so you need
a provider for these data sources. App servers (whether free like jBoss or
commercial like Weblogic) generally include sophisticated connection pools.

There's a free one provided by Struts ... check out
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/util/package-summary.
html#doc.JDBC

... this explains how to set it up and use it. It's fairly straightforward.
